Previous Volumes

Volume 1

The LUMS Law Journal (LLJ) was initiated in 2013 at a time when Pakistan was experiencing its first democratic transition after a democratically elected government was completing its full term. At this juncture, constitutional debate was ripe owing to the elections and the 18th Constitutional Amendment. While these issues were and still are being debated, there is a dearth of legal scholarship on this subject. It is for this reason, amongst others, that Constitutional Law and Politics in Pakistan was chosen as the theme for the first issue of the LLJ.

Volume 2

We are very excited to announce Volume 2 of the LLJ. As our readership may note, there is a notable change in the Journal’s format. While retaining the Articles section from last year’s volume, we substituted the Comments section for Case Notes on important decisions of the Superior Courts in recent years. Our hope is that the Journal would serve the dual purpose of inviting debate on important legal issues, as well as educating our readers on the technical facets of court decisions coming out of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, the High Courts, and the Federal Shariat Court. This Issue contains contributions by law students, academics and practicing lawyers.
